2 Leg Commute (LGA-JFK)
With all the amount of new hires going to WB categories in NYC last year, I'm wondering if I prematurely discarded any category that does primarily JFK flying. My commute airport doesn't really have a viable direct flight plan so it would mean getting to LGA first and then getting to JFK. Does anyone here have experience doing that?

Delta reimburses up to $250 a month for commuters if you opt out of parking in JFK and LGA for Ubers and parking at your home airport. A Taxi is going to cost $40-$70 depending on time of day and 30 minutes to 1 hour. I do it somewhat frequently (3 times a month maybe) and it works out pretty well.

I wouldn’t discard it at all. I do it all the time and don’t think it’s bad at all. No traffic, it’s about 15-20 minute ride, and with traffic about 45 minutes (rush hour). Also I find it’s actually a benefit having two airports close by to one another since there are more flight options to commute between American, delta, JB that go out of both airports. I bid later starts so it really isn’t a big sweat.
As someone else said you can reimburse all your trips. Typically will range between $20 (kew cab) or $35-50 normal cab/Uber.
Wouldn’t discard, some good flying out of JFK.

JFK - Kew: $12
LGA - Kew: $15
JFK - LGA: $22
Cash only
But if you have another person making the same trip, the fare is split even (as long as you tell them at time of booking), so $22 total JFK-LGA would only be $11 each.

There’s a thread pinned at the top here called “New York transportation advice”.
It contains much useful information.
Anecdotally: I did it for years (some NYC pilots have equipment that are responsible for EWR, LGA, & JFK); I don’t recommend it if you can avoid it.
